SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 489,567, dated January10, 1893.

Application filed June 3,1892. Serial No. 435,461. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT ASA PAGKER MEADE, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Sayre, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, have inventeda new and useful Coat-Sleeve Attachment, of which the following isaspecification.

The objects of my invention are to protect the wrist and arm of thewearer against rain and snow and to keep the wrist warm in cold weather.I attain these objects by the means hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an enlarged view of my device, the flapwithin the sleeve being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a reduced viewof my device, showing the attachment in connection with the sleeve. Fig.3 is a sectional view through the line X-X of Fig. 2 enlarged.

Like letters of reference indicate the same parts throughout the severalviews.

My coat sleeve attachment is constructed of an outer flap G whichterminates at the wrist in an elastic band A, and an inner flap Battached to the outer flap C at a convenient distance in the rear of theband A. The outer flap O is provided with openings 6 e e e e, locatedabove the point of attachment of the inner and outer flaps. The innerflap B is attached to the inner side of the coat sleeve D by hooks andeyes or in any suitable manner. The flap 0 is drawn over the outside ofthe coat sleeve D and is attached thereto by buttons or in any suitablemanner. The openings 9 e e e e in the outer flap C, serve to permit theescape of water which may accumulate beneath the outer flap. It is plainthat the band A will tightly clasp the wrist serving to retain heat andexclude rain or snow, the described attachment forming a continuouscovering for the wrist and closing the usual opening of the coat sleeveat the wrist.

Having thus described my invention I claim,

As a new article of manufacture a coat sleeve protector consisting of aninner and an outer flap one of said flaps terminating in an elastic bandto clasp the wrist the two flaps being attached to each other in therear of the elastic band and the outer flap having openings locatedabove the point of attachment of the inner and outer flaps,substantially as and for the purposes described.
